WWE Elimination Chamber Match 2013 Poster

– Getting ready for #WWEChamber ! Who do you think will have the “RVD/Morrison”-moment in the Chamber this year?

– Now time for the obligatory tag team match. Too bad this means that Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow are stuck on the pre-show.

– If this pre-show match was supposed to make people want to buy the PPV, I don’t think it worked…

– Here are my quick predictions:
Antonio Cesaro will defeat The Miz
Kaitlyn retains over Tamina
Ryback, John Cena and Sheamus over The Shield
Randy Orton will win the Elimination Chamber
Alberto Del Rio will retain over The Big Show
CM Punk will win the WWE Championship

– Still hate that this Del Rio/Big Show feud is still going on. Move Del Rio onto ANYONE new!

– Despite the botched spot, another solid effort from The Big Show & Del Rio. Didn’t have high hopes for the match but it was definitely a stellar World Championship match.

– First match down and now we already know Dolph Ziggler isn’t cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase. Bad match placement.

– At least Antonio Cesaro’s patriotic tights have lasted longer than Sheamus’ did a few years ago.

– Good second match of what could be a very good series. I could definitely see Cesaro and Miz on the WrestleMania under-card.

– Wow… the Chamber is the 3rd match?! Absolutely terrible.

– HOLY MOSES, NEW MUSIC FOR JACK SWAGGER! THANK GOD!!!

– Really like Jack Swagger’s new look. It’s nothing spectacular but enough that it makes him look like an adult and a star.

– I wonder if ANYONE will be surprised when the announce the Daniel Bryan vs Kane match at WrestleMania…

– Mark Henry vs Booker T at WrestleMania? Wouldn’t be that good of a match but it’d make for some good TV.

– Holy crap! I don’t think ANYONE called a Swagger victory!

– You could tell they were high on him when he returned but shotgunning him into a title match at WrestleMania is shocking!

– My two Pulsecast co-hosts called this finish, kudos JC & Cam. I truly did not think Cena was going to lose before ‘Mania.

– Looks like the Divas match has disappeared once again. Can’t say I’m complaining.

– I’d be more excited for this match if I wasn’t utterly bored to death with Kofi Kingston.

– Ok match with some rushed highspots. With it being only 6 minutes in total, I don’t think it benefited Ziggler at all. It was important to get him on this show but this match was just meaningless.

– Nope guess I was wrong. Not only do we get a horrible segment & now the Divas match. I was hoping for an epic 45 min title match between The Rock & CM Punk.

– Kaitlyn is growing on me in the ring & on the mic. Now she just needs some competition.

– I believe tonight will tell us whether or not The Undertaker is cleared for WrestleMania. Honestly at this point, I’m kind of hoping for a Rock/Punk/Cena triple threat instead.

– Sometimes I wish they would mic managers, especially Heyman. Most of the time, his in-character “managing” is more entertaining than the commentary team.

– And yes, I remember Abraham Washington. He was no Paul Heyman.

– Last month, the table crumbles and tonight it doesn’t even crack. 3rd time’s the charm?

– An ok match between Rock & Punk but definitely nothing spectacular. At least both men we kept strong going into WrestleMania.

– Well now they had that graphics package qued up rather quickly…

– All in all, a decent PPV that didn’t produce anything truly memorable. At least ‘Mania is up next!
